Flexible Display Tile and Method of Producing Same

1. A method of producing a flexible display tile, the method comprising: providing a plurality of luminous sources on a flexible substrate; arranging each one of a plurality of elongate enclosures around one or more of said luminous sources with a longest side of the elongate enclosures aligned in a common direction of the flexible display tile, wherein the plurality of elongate enclosures is arranged in rows and columns; and filling each elongate enclosure of the plurality of elongate enclosures with a potting material such that the elongate enclosure and the potting material form a potted island, such that the potted islands are arranged in rows and columns, with lines between the rows and columns of the potted islands determining the lines along which a user can cut the flexible display tile to a smaller flexible display tile, the flexible display tile being such that the power, ground and data and instructions signals are provided to the flexible display tile by more than one bus under said flexible display tile.

2. A flexible display tile produced according to the method of claim 1 .

3. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , wherein a portion of the elongate enclosures is arranged so as to provide shading to the luminous sources within the elongate enclosure.

4. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , arranged in a rolled up configuration, such that said common direction is aligned with an axis around which the display tile is rolled up.

5. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , wherein the display tile comprises at least one conductive track, wherein at least one corner in said at least one conductive track is covered by said potting material.

6. A method of using the flexible display tile according to claim 2 in a display system comprising the step of bending said flexible display tile such that the common direction corresponds to a smallest curvature of the flexible display tile.

7. The flexible display tile according to claim 3 , arranged in a rolled up configuration, such that said common direction is aligned with an axis around which the display tile is rolled up.

8. The flexible display tile according to claim 3 , wherein the display tile comprises at least one conductive track, wherein at least one corner in said at least one conductive track is covered by said potting material.

9. The flexible display tile according to claim 4 , wherein the display tile comprises at least one conductive track, wherein at least one corner in said at least one conductive track is covered by said potting material.

10. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , wherein the display tile is configured to allow separation into smaller tiles along at least one line between two of said rows and/or columns.

11. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , wherein a number of luminous sources in each elongate enclosure is less than a total number of luminous sources on the tile.

12. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , wherein the elongate enclosures delimit regions of a tile where the potting material is present and regions of a tile where no potting material is present.

13. The flexible display tile according to claim 2 , wherein the potting is interrupted at regular intervals.

14. A display comprising at least two display tiles according to claim 2 , wherein the tiles are addressed in parallel.

15. A display comprising at least two display tiles according to claim 2 , wherein the potted island extends from one side of a tile to the other.
